A marvel of a Jaeger Lecoultre Watch to help you to wait for tomorrow launches: Gyrotourbillon One.

I loose any notion of time when I gaze at the Gyrotourbillon One, issued in 2004. Definitely in my top five modern JLC. Even in the Top 3. Will we have a more desirable than that one, one day? For me, it is a milestone, indeed. Best, Nicolas ...  

Mechanical Art, so special....

however, I would still like to know if the addition of a Gyrotourbillon had a positive effect on accuracy vs. a conventional balance wheel escapement S

Academically

There’s evidence the Gyrotourbillon can perform admirably as both a watch and a work of art, based on the first modern Chronometrie competition. It lost out by a point to the simpler Master Tourbillon. If you do not consider the ease of adjustment and the... 

Nicely elaborated, jmp.

Thank you for your very nice and detailed reply....

I was hoping that JLC released data on the accuracy of the Gyrotourbillon per day +1 vs conventional escapement so we can compare. About adjustments and variances we have the 6 Positions of testing.

A good Cal 898 ( in the Geophysic ) well adjusted is accurate to 0 to 2 secs per day, from memory...

thats impressive, do you think the Gyrotourbillon is more accurate? Grand Seiko's VFA even after 50 years was giving a +-1 second a day result

 
 By: SALMANPK : April 6th, 2021-13:23

You see... No need for a tourbillon, even gyrotourbillonesque, for that matter.

 
 By: amanico : April 6th, 2021-13:48

It depends on all the work on the balance fine adjustment. Let's say that there is no need to have a Gyrotourbillon nor a Tourbillon to be extremely accurate.

very true

The Chronometer lover(s) / fan(s) you / we are know(s) that very well. ;)

 
 By: amanico : April 6th, 2021-08:51

What can I say :-) a boat must float, a knife should cut therefore a watch must provide as accurately as physics allows the time

 
 By: SALMANPK : April 6th, 2021-09:59

And especially when it comes to a Chronometer! ;)

This one is difficult to defeat.

What I think, too.

 
 By: amanico : April 6th, 2021-05:57

I’m not sure that losing any notion of time when gazing at this watch is what JLC intended...

 
 By: kev09 : April 6th, 2021-03:23
...but I know what you mean. I could look at this one all day - back and front. Regards Kev.

Me too! Which is a disaster when you have a busy day. ;)

I still feel sad about the one we saw at auction that went for 110k USD mon ami. Sadly, like you, I am AGAINST patronizing auction houses so it was never meant to be. Maybe we will be luckier in the future 😉

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : April 11th, 2021-09:41

If I can find one at a good price, I will jump on it.

 
 By: amanico : April 11th, 2021-09:42

You and me both. I know where one is. It is also compelling, hence my temptation 🤣🤣

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : April 11th, 2021-09:49

Go!

 
 By: amanico : April 11th, 2021-09:52

Mucho plata cabron 🤣🤣

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : April 11th, 2021-11:21

But at a vey tempting price?

 
 By: amanico : April 11th, 2021-11:21

If the price was right, it would ALREADY be on my wrist 🤣🤣😉

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : April 11th, 2021-11:25

So, it is logically priced, then? Not such bad news for such a watch...

 
 By: amanico : April 11th, 2021-13:36

Yes mon ami. Nowhere near what we saw in NY a couple years ago. Trust me, if the price was anywhere near what we saw, it would ALREADY be on my wrist 🤣😜😉

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : April 16th, 2021-16:06
Regardless, this will eventually be in my collection sooner or later 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙉🙊🙈

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

 
 By: amanico : April 16th, 2021-23:40

🤞🤞🤞🤞 fingers and toes 😜🤣🤣
